Quick info
About The Goat
The Goat is a coffee shop on Whitefield Terrace, just off Chillingham Road in Heaton. The room holds three small tables inside, with big windows for sitting in, and two picnic tables outside. A single barista runs the counter, and orders are taken on a walk-in basis. The menu covers coffees, teas, bakes and toasties, with a cheese toastie among the savoury options and a vegan chocolate chip cookie alongside the sweeter bakes. Cakes rotate, with carrot cake and carrot and walnut cake among the versions that turn up. There's no dedicated car park, though free parking can be found nearby.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for the flat white, which one calls the best they have ever had and another calls delicious, while a cappuccino and a chia latte also earn praise. The coffee is described as strong and expertly made, with good beans and a wide variety of choices. Close behind is the friendly, kind barista, who several say makes great conversation and who another reviewer identifies as the owner working the counter alone. Cheese toasties, lemon cake, carrot and walnut cake and a vegan chocolate chip cookie come up as extras, though one reviewer notes the cakes rotate, so what is on offer is never certain. The shop is very small, with three small tables inside and two picnic tables outside, which one reviewer says adds to the charm, and prices are called reasonable. One visitor describes the coffee art on their flat white arriving as a lovely surprise that made them smile.

“Came for lunch with my little boy he enjoyed a cheese toastie and cup of tea. I had a slice of carrot cake and a chia latte which was lovely too. The service was good and staff were lovely. It is just a small cafe with 3 small tables and outside has 2 picnic tables out. Lovely atmosphere and I would come back again. There is places you can around here for free but no actual car park.”

“Lovely little coffee shop in a super convenient location for those in the local area. Very small inside, however it adds to the overall charm. The staff are friendly and always make great conversation and a delicious cup of coffee.”

“We are visiting from Australia and love our coffee. The coffee here was the best we’ve had since arriving in the UK! Sam was friendly and his coffee was as amazing!”

“The Goat Coffee with a 5.0 star Google review, manned single handedly by a star studded barista, in a cosy corner lot setup in Heaton. Sam, a young gentleman in his late 20’s, has been placed 7th, and 12th, in the UK Brewer’s cup - a feat that places him at the pedestal amongst UK baristas. As the only ‘staff’ in this shop, the consistency is spot on. It’s Sam’s passion. Coffee connoisseurs, here’s to you.”
